{quote} Hi Emmanuel, may I participate at this riddle? Big E. often wrote about the angle of the tdi green. Is this correct. I will try to code this EA too. May I also ask for a hidsight, how you achieve this big number of pips in only 5 days, when the currency only moves about 300 pips? (see part of your Chart attached). Is this based on the first 0.2% meme trade? Do you add all pips of all meme trades? Or do you work with "other peoples money" (reinvest wins). Best regards {image}

Hi,

very good results.

Try exit when the HA closed with colour change and use trailing behind previous bar high/low whichever happens first.
Usually this would mean you exit before the TDI cross in the opposite direction.
Also pay attention to the slope of the Green line and the distance between the Green and Red lines.

using the TDI goes flat, hook back, check mark, etc. is an old approach and is rather conservative.

{quote} Hi Deichkind, See my BPP charts below: MN {image} W1 {image} D1 On the D1, we will see the swing high and swing low in the MN sideways ranging market type. The weekly swing range is between 260 pip to 320 pips. Trying to catch the top and bottom will be fruitless exercise for most traders. {image}
thanks for the BPP from GBPUSD and the explanation. On the Monthly Chart do you draw every monthly close price into the chart? Or cause they mark in the line chart little hooks?(I remain the last 5 months)?

best regards

{quote} 20% peŕ month with only 4% draw down. Very impressive

try not to measure system performance in month.
use 20-trading days cycle and target to achieve 10% in 20-trading days.
once you get your entries and exits done with discipline, you will see that you can achieve the 10% in fewer than 20 days.
when you can achieve that 10% in say an average 10 to 15 trading days, you will see how your profitability will grow exponentially.
you will get 3 to 4 losing cycles in one year and you may get losing months, but non consecutively, and but you will less likely to get a losing year... this way.

its easier to see the MN using Line Chart and look for those swings.

but seeing the Bar Chart or Candlesticks is what I use because I want to see the closing and opening prices and the price gaps.

Hi zMinga,

Sometimes you have to think outside the box to make things work consistently.

I find the TDI Oscillator far more effective when applied to the Chart as MAs rather than below it as an Oscillator.

The Red TDI line is equal to a 7 Simple Moving Average Applied to the Close
The Green TDI Line is equal to a 2 Simple Moving Average Applied to the Close
The PAC is replaced with a 5 Exponential Moving Average.

Apply a 42 SMA (RED) to a H4 Chart this is equal to a 7 SMA (RED) on a D1 Chart
Apply a 12 SMA (GREEN) to a H4 Chart this is equal to a 2 SMA (GREEN) on a D1 Chart
Apply a 30 EMA (GOLD) to a H4 Chart this is equal to a 5 EMA (GOLD) on a D1 Chart

Trade the D1 TDI on a H4 Chart by looking for PullBacks on H4 after you see the D1 TDI Moving Averages Separate.

Try it on the Shorter TFs also and see what you think

Here's a MTF TDI applied to a M30 Chart and an M5 Chart

Trade in the direction of the M30 TDI on an M5 Chart after you see a PullBack on M5.

You will find the Market moves between .200 .000RN .800 and .500HN a lot.

See how you can incorporate those levels into your Trading.

Yes, use Stochastics (8,3,3)
but TDI (10,5,34,3,1,7)

WHEN TO EXIT ----------------- OK there appears to be some confusion here... According to the rules you exit when the TDI GREEN LINE goes flat, check mark reversal or hooks over.... this is for the conserative trader and works great. However.... note the blue box on the TDI below. See how the green line archs like a worm crawling up the red line without crossing red. You could have stayed in the whole trade without exiting until green crossed red finally. {image}
You can also Exit when the HA candle closed with change in colour. This usually happens before the TDI cross in the opposite direction.
